Abstract
A module converting voltage between a high-voltage electrical network and at least one energy storage element an aircraft, the conversion module configured to reversibly convert between a DC voltage of the high-voltage electrical network and a DC voltage of the energy storage element, the DC voltage of the energy storage element floating relative to the DC voltage of the high-voltage electrical network and centered relative to the mass of the aircraft, the module including an input module including two filters each capable of receiving a DC voltage, a first arm and a second arm including switches, and a mechanism controlling the switches, operating per cycle of a switching period and capable of controlling at least one first switch and at least one second switch identically but offset by a half-period, whereby the first switch is open when the second switch is closed and vice versa.
